Advertise Well

Advertise well tits the secret of glory, stick TO this
principle as fast as a leech;
Think of the that famous in story, adver-
tise well is the lesson they teach.
How have men cOmpassed so wide connection,
made the world swollow their nostrums at will?
Tis that by constant and serious reflection, adver
tise well is the principle still.
Advertise wellI you will never repent it; nothing
more wise can business man do.
Stick to this motto and forget it; advertise
well-it will pull you safe through.
Advertise WELL do not think what twill cost you;
publishers bills are but friends in disguise.
How do you know what your caution has lost you?
Would you be wealthy, you must advertise.
Advertise well! though business be waning: those
who spend freest must win in the end.
Up and be doingi no need for complaining; act for
yourself, and be your own friend.
Advertise WE'LL all lanes have turning; nothing
pays better than paper and ink
Thousands who daily this motto are 'spurning, find
that ii brings them TO bankruptcy's brink.

Sound Advica.

If you are a farmer patronize your
home merchant. If you are a mer-
chant, do your business with the farm
er from whom you obtain patronage.
If you are a laborer, spend your money
with tradesmen, and thereby assist in
making our city prosperous. If the
business men. the mechanics and
tradeSmen are prosperous, the laborer,
the farmer and all others in the COM
munity will be benefited. Do busi-
ness in spirit of reciprocity. Let
each vocation try to assist the other,
and in this way friendly and mutual
relation exists which will prove bene-
ficial to all. Smith county Bazoo.

Fire Such an Icicle.

May tie good Lord have pity OH the
child who is compelled to go day after
day, week after week, and month after
month to a school presided over by a
teacher who never laughs, nor smiles,
whose contenance is solemn as sepul-
chre, whose voice is dreary, drawing
monotone, and whose methods of in
struction have neither variableness nor
shadow of turning. Wretched broth
er or sister, if it be impossible for you
to put more vigor into your movements,
more Vivacity into your talk, and cheer
fulness into your face, take we beseech
you, your chilling form from off that
school-room floor, and give place to
some one whose presence is a perpet-
ual sunshine. and whose manner and
method are III eternal entagonism to
monotony.- -Erchange

Down With Our Gas Well.

Every week reports from over the
country show the usual finds of coal
salt, oil or natural gas by the towns
that are drilling prospecting holes. 1t
has become a sort of duty for town to
find out what underlies its particular
section, and while in many cases the
serch has proved to be fruitless one,
yet thousands of towns have within the
last twelve months improved the con-
ditiOn of their people and the value of
their property many fold by simple
hole in the ground. About the only
way to know what lies under the
surface is to bore down and see, and
an artesian well, even, is worth many
times the cost of finding it. Every
town of thousand inhabitants can
well afford to know what resources are
under as well as around it.-Augusta

Coal and Hogs.

Last week a half ton of coal was
stolen from the brick yard of Wood
Bros, near the Walnut creek. The
Dodge school house was broken into
and several things stolen. Only q
week or so ago a couple of hogs were
stolen from Wood Bros. corral. No
trace Of the thieves has as yet been
discovered, but such things generally
come to life in the course of events.

a GREAT many people may think
nothing wrong of the practice OF call
ing at the county treasurers office at
a time when he is the busiest, and hav-
ing him look over the books, hunt up
descriptions, etc., when they have no
intention of paying the taxes at that
time. 1t may be considered, and is,
an imposition upon the time and pa
tience of the treasurer and his assistant
and should not be done.

Guilty by their coal stealing proclivities.
Coal was taken from the Santa Fe cars,
in the night, but the people claimed
they had to steal it or freeze. How

coal were well able to pay for it, and
they were fined quite heavily for their
